Brittany McCaughey
Psychotherapist -
Do you have a difficult time looking at yourself with compassion and acceptance because the way you react, behave, and feel is wrong? Maybe it’s reacting with anger and defensiveness, or isolation and shutting down. Maybe it’s feeling like you are not smart enough. attractive enough, or simply not enough. Either way, you are left feeling ashamed of who you are. Imagine a life where you did not feel this way. You did not feel controlled by your emotions, you found joy in the ups and downs, and you look at yourself in a positive light. Beginning therapy is nerve-wracking, but I hope you take a moment (and a deep breath) to reach out.
What if I told you that how we react has good intention and purpose? I know, you might be skeptical, but, what we now label as unhealthy was likely quite useful when facing stress. Are you an angry person or did you learn that anger kept people away so they couldn’t hurt you? Together we can explore your experiences and how you learned to navigate the world.
I have 5 years of experience working in community mental health with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. I value openness and safety, and will encourage you to express your concerns in any way that best suits you. Whether that is through laughter, crying, or swearing, the space is yours. I hope to hear from you soon!
